收购 Netflix 发展电视流服务？苹果可以考虑 - Netflix,网络电视 - IT资讯

虽然会花不少钱，但现在苹果最不缺的就是现金。

美国知名在线影片租赁提供商NetFlix最近的日子并不好过。在过去的一个月时间里，Netflix的股价下跌了13%，这一次下滑主要是受到该公司的今年第一季度财报影响。而且在此之前Netflix的股票表现也非常一般：在过去半年时间里，Netflix的市值缩水了20%。在这样的背景之下，似乎有人从中看到了苹果的商机：可以伺机收购Netflix。

威锋网消息，投资者网站Investopedia分析师Richard Saintvilus日前在一则报告中表示，Netflix目前的市值只剩下390亿美元，而三周之前这个数字还接近500亿美元。对于想要发展电视流服务的苹果公司来说，这是一个绝佳的收购机会。而且这名分析师也相信，Netflix的市值缩小也引起了苹果公司的注意。

苹果在过去一年时间里收购了15家企业，库克近日在一次采访中表示，只要能帮助苹果扩大业务，他们会非常积极地进行收购。不过，苹果公司成立至今最大手笔的一次收购就是2014年花费30亿美元收购Beats。相比之下，苹果收购Netflix的价格预计会是530亿美元。这对苹果当然不是问题，因为该公司目前在银行里还存有2310亿美元现金。

虽然苹果在去年秋季推出了第四代Apple TV，这台新设备支持软件和游戏，而且还拥有自己的App Store，但影视内容向来是机顶盒产品的重中之重。苹果除了要和电视服务供应商就流媒体问题继续谈判之外，还需要扩展Apple TV的本地影视内容，收购Netflix无疑是一个很好的选择。

除了Netflix之外，之前有传闻称苹果也在考虑收购时代华纳。
